Chubby Skewers | Authentic Chinese BBQ

Chubby Skewers in Chicago's Chinatown is a fun spot for authentic Dongbei-style Chinese BBQ. Grab a tray, pick from tons of skewers—premium Wagyu, lamb, seafood, veggies, and more—then grill them yourself at the table. Skewers are super affordable (~$1.30 each with perks), and bold flavors shine through. Sides like sizzling tofu, mala tang, and spicy cold noodles are solid additions. Jocelyn was terrific—friendly, attentive, and great at recommendations, making the self-service experience even better.

The foods are already marinated so I didn’t need to use seasoning. Service was great, everyone was smiling and very attentive. Wait time was kinda long but I understand because it just opened. The songs are cute haha. They offer parking validation. I recommend their fried rice :)
